Latvia

On March 3 I leave Sydney to travel to Latvia where I have been invited to perform in the XIIIth International Piano Stars Festival in Liepaja, a festival featuring classical pianists from all over the world that always has one night of jazz with an international jazz pianist. I am very happy to be featuring this year and will perform with jazz trio plus the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra (I will be writing some orchestral arrangements especially for the event). Liepaja is a large coastal town 200km from the capital Riga where I performed last July. After the March trip to Latvia I will be following it with a larger tour in May, to Romania to perform in International Music Festival Jeunesses Musicales Bucharest, to Istanbul, Turkey for a 2-night season at one of the major jazz clubs there and to New York, London and Korea where I am currently finalising performances.
